You’re not doin’ well son…quit diggin’ and go back to rethink
your approach. I dare say at least a majority on this list, including
myself, will trust Viktor et al a far bit more than someone coming in
from the cold who freely admits the are not “well versed” in the
app, nor a key protocol used by that app, but then still feels qualified
to argue as to the (falsely) alleged flaws in that app…
Fingers crossed for ya’…

Limited resources? <checks calendar> Nope, it's not 1993.
We're talking about, in the nominal case, one extra packet that
takes one extra RTT to show up.
Maybe you run your servers at 99.999999% load, and that extra
0.000001 will put them over the edge. I can only tell you that I,
as one admin, would absolutely take the extra load to get proper
shutdown behavior.
If I need a mailer on my PDP/11 I'll be sure to consider postfix
for it's stingy use of resources. Does it compile on Unix version
6? :)
